Malaysian Interior Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Ahmed Zahid Hamidi announced that two Turkish citizens who were detained last week and had links to the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO), were extradited to Turkey.
İsmet Özçelik, İhsan Aslan and Turgay Karaman were arrested by Malaysian security forces.
Malaysian Police Chief Khalid Abu Bakar said that the three suspects were extradited to Turkey for their links to FETÖ.
He added that their passports had been cancelled by Turkey, and therefore, Özçelik, Aslan and Karaman had the status of illegal immigrants in Malaysia.
Özçelik, the head of a FETÖ school in Malaysia, used to work as the vice chair of a university in Turkey before he was fired for links to the FETÖ terrorist organization.
The three were arrested last week for threatening national security.
FETÖ terrorists are led by U.S.-based Fetullah Gülen, who orchestrated Turkey's July 15 coup attempt and is the mastermind behind a long-running campaign to overthrow the state through the infiltration of Turkish institutions, particularly the military, police and judiciary.
Since the failed coup, operations have been ongoing in the military, police and judiciary as well as in state institutions across the country to arrest suspects with alleged links to FETÖ.
The terrorist group is also known for its network comprised of hundreds of schools around the world.
